Fearful parents are saying no to sleep-overs（在别人家里过夜）,banning children as old as 15 from using public transport on their own and watching over their kids like hawks（鹰）at the local park,according to a new British study.
The survey of 6,099 people commissioned by LV,a charity that educates children about safety,showed that nearly a quarter of children aged 15 or under were not allowed to sleep at a friend's house,60 percent were forbidden to travel on public transport alone and 43 percent couldn't go to the park without a parent or guardian（监护人）.
It said more than 60 percent of mums and dads think the world is more dangerous than when they were kids. "It's difficult for parents to know when is the right time to step back and allow children to experience things on their own,"said one person in the survey.
In contrast,just four percent of today's adults said they were banned from sleeping-over when they were 15 or younger,only two percent were forbidden to use public transport,and the same number couldn't go out on their own in familiar surroundings,such as their local town or park.
“Stranger danger” is the number one worry for over half of all parents (54 percent),followed by bullying（欺侮）(47),mugging (46) and road danger (34).On average,children today can look forward to walking to school on their own by the age of 11,use public transport on their own at 12,and babysit their brother or sister by the time they're 14.
In contrast,parents say they were allowed to walk to school unaccompanied at the age of nine,use public transport alone by the time they were 11,and babysit a brother or sister by the time of their 12th birthday.
Parents know they are being tougher on their children and over a third said they felt uneasy that their kids do not get the same opportunities as they did to experience freedom as a youngster.
1.Most parents have more control over their children because_______.
A. they love their children more than their parents did in the past
B. they are more protective than their parents were
C. they think the world is more dangerous than it was in the past
D. they think children don't need to experience things on their own
2.According to the survey,children nowadays______.
A. pay more attention to their safety
B. have less freedom than their parents' generation
C. grow up in a better environment
D. have no ability to ensure their own safety
3.What would be the best title of the passage?
A. Kids want the same freedom as their parents.
B. When can children have their freedom?
C. Why are children not allowed to sleep-over.
D. Fearful British parents keep kids closer than ever.

Should parents ever hit their children?
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking(打屁股) has been falling over the years. But surverys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking their child at least once.
I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment. And, no, I don’t feel I was damaged by it.
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn’t the answer.
Two years ago, Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive.
Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades. He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers(同等的人). It may be that children with lower IQqs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterpoductive(反作用的) to their mental development, as well.
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks(用巴掌打) on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit.
Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never spanked. There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physi punished. Gunnoe’s research suggests they don’t turn out any better than those who were sometimes spank.
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers(脾气). But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical puishment.

Helping your daughter say no to pressure
You are her greatest influence
1.. It may seem that they aren’t listening, but they truly are. When parents stay involved in their daughter’s lives, tell them their views and values, they lend to make belter choices for themselves.
Be straight about what cannot be done
Parents need to work out what is and what isn’t negotiable(可协商的). 2.. You have to do something. With things like drinking alcohol and when it comes to her personal safety, you have to let her know what is and isn’t OK.
Seek advice from friends and experts
3., yet when our children reach adolescence we seem to think we need to parent alone. Similarly, let her know that it is OK if she seeks advice from other adults such as her adviser or counselor(法律顾问).
4.
Quite often we like to talk the talk but we have to walk the walk. Your daughter will learn so much from how you manage yourself and how you behave and respond, and similarly how you handle pressure.
Be aware of behavior changes
If your daughter becomes troubled with dieting, her phone keeps ringing or she begins spending too much time on the Internet, it may indicate that something goes wrong in her world. 5.. You also need to be a bit more aware of what might be going on in her world.
A. Be your daughter’s role model
B. If everything is non-negotiable, you will have conflicts
C. These are indicators that you need to have a conversation
D. If you expect her not to drink or smoke, she may follow you
E. Parents need to know their big influences on their daughters
F. Ask your daughter to consider the media and social influences

It's every parent's worst nightmare. 1.. Now scientists say they have found a better way to wake up sleeping youngsters. Researchers in the US have discovered that playing a child a recording of their mother's voice is about three times more likely to wake them than a traditional alarm. Moreover, they can escape more quickly.
Dr Gary Smith, a co－author of the research from the Nationwide Children's hospital in Ohio and his colleagues report how they compared the effects of four different smoke alarms on 176 children aged between 5 and 12 years old.2.. While one alarm featured a high－pitched beep, the other three featured the voice of the child's mother calling either the child's name, giving instructions such as: “Wake up! Leave the room！”， or both. Each child slept in a lab－based room that resembled a real bedroom, and was shown how to escape from the room before they went to bed. They each experienced all four alarms—the order of which was chosen randomly.
3.. About 90% of children woke for a vocal alarm compared with just over 53% for the traditional alarm. In addition, the children shook off their sleep faster, with a median(中位数) value of two seconds for the voice alarm compared with more than two and a half minutes for the traditional alarm.4.．
Prof Niamh Nic Daéid, director of the Leverhulme Research Centre at the University of Dundee, said the research supported by her team found a human voice combined with a low－frequency pulsing tone was far more effective in waking children than a traditional high－pitched alarm.5.， which might have made them more responsive to an alarm, while more work was needed to explore whether other familiar sounds, such as a dog barking, might also prove effective in waking up children.
A. But she noted that the latest study involved children sleeping in a location other than their own bedroom
B. But she said it was important to look at developing better alarms
C. None of them had hearing difficulties or were taking any medication that affected their sleep
D. The results show that voice alarms appear to be more effective than high－pitched beeps
E. What's more, it does so faster and is linked to a quicker escape
F. There's a fire in the house; the alarms are beeping, but the children are in deep sleep
G. Similarly, escape times were longer in the cases of the beeping alarms
